The ID of the Cleveland player as Larry Staab is correct. The Ranger is (probably) Charlie Hudson, another lefty (1973), mostly known for his slouchy appearance (see attached). Umbarger was profoundly skinny. The only realistic possibility is Art DeFilippis who was in camp with them for many years in the '70s.

I do not believe any Voss images ever turned up in Topps Vault (although we know they shot him with the White Sox, Angels, and Brewers, and their photographer Doug McWilliams shot him with the A's). As I've mentioned many times the files were perfectly organized through the letter T and then they got very, very sporadic, and pretty much disappeared in the middle of the letter W.

Does anyone know who this guy is?

Wait actually it seems like there was 2 Ryan Thompsons in the Astros organization at the time, a pitcher in the minors and an outfielder who had been in the majors since the 90s (According to Baseball Reference he signed with Houston again for the 2004 season but didn't get called up). I can't find a picture of the minor league pitcher for comparison but I am going to guess this is the outfielder one since in the other pics on Getty he is holding a bat and the pitcher was apparently only 21 at the start of the 2004 season while this guy looks older but I still want to make sure.

Just as I thought then. Thank you.

I never seen this image of him before so I figured I'd post it here.

It's from the Bucknell University website.

We've got him with the Browns, the Tigers and even Jersey City, but here's Lake with his debut team, the Highlanders. From the current RMY auction, picture courtesy of The Pictorial News Co.

De-browned and sharpened, as I tend to do.

"Silent John" is seen here with the 1911 Phillies. Frankly, when you have Charles Conlon taking this sort of iconic pic, what more do you need to say?

Heck of a batting stance, that.
